The majority of these traders operate on very small margins , they source their stock through wholesalers and don't have the benefit of having huge distribution centres and can buy direct from manufacturers and take the middle man out of the margins .

They are sole traders , totally diferent trading agenda going on here as opposed to the big names trading elsewhere .

Once the building is totally devoid of traders then where is the economic benefit to BMBC ?

There is absolutely no way that new building justifies a 6k per annum increase to each and every trader , absolutely not .

This is Barnsley not fecking Oxford Street .

Wake up you morons .
